About Mountain Youth Academy
Care is trauma-informed and based on cognitive behavioral therapy. Youth receive individual and family therapy, group counseling, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, neurofeedback for brain regulation, and creative therapies like art, music, and drama. Education includes individualized education programs (IEPs) and response to intervention (RTI) for personalized learning and behavioral support.
Students live in a structured, secure setting with 24/7 medical and nursing care. Daily life includes classroom learning, vocational training, social skills groups, recreation therapy, yoga, and community outings. On-campus events and animal care activities help build connection, confidence, and a strong foundation for lasting growth.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Mountain Youth Academy provide structured pathways to evidence-based care. Sources: SAMHSA NSDUH 2023, NIDA Principles of Drug Addiction Treatment (4th Ed.)

Understanding Your Treatment Options
Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.
Mountain Youth Academy offers 2 distinct levels of care, allowing patients to step through treatment intensities as they progress. This continuum-of-care model — moving from higher to lower intensity — is recommended by SAMHSA as the gold standard for addiction treatment.
The facility utilizes 9 evidence-based therapeutic modalities. According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
